This Old Fashioned Cherry Cobbler recipe comes from one of my old and dusty vintage cookbooks that was published way back in 1939. I made some adjustments to make it a little more stable.

The cobbler biscuit topping recipe needed a bit more flour than the vintage cobbler recipe called for. It was way too runny. Otherwise this is a delicious not too sweet cobbler biscuit recipe. You could use the cobbler biscuit recipe for any type of cobbler.

This cobbler biscuit topping recipe will work no matter what cobbler flavor you decide to make.

I did use my own home canned cherry cobbler filling to make this Old Fashioned Cherry Cobbler recipe. You know Grandma back in the 40's had to use cherry cobbler filling she canned herself. There weren't cans of cherry pie filling at the corner store.

If you don't want to can your own cherry cobbler and pie filling you can substitute the quart of cherry cobbler for 2 cans of store bought cherry pie filling instead.
